Howard Stern & Hillary.

[karmaqueen]

I just read an article on the Washington Post site about how much Howard likes Hillary and would love to have her on his show. I really do not know that much about Howard except that he has a lot of very loyal followers and he is friends with Jimmy Kimmel who I like a lot. Would this be a bad idea for her or could it help with the younger crowd?

1. If HRC were to appear on Stern's show, I guarantee the first question out of his mouth will

be about Bill and Monica.

Listen to the interviews Stern has had with Trump. They aren't tea parties in British drawing rooms.

5. Stern as an interviewer has mellowed

I have no idea if he'd ask a Monica question, but it would not be the first question.

2. I'm not sure how young Stern's crowd is

I'm a longtime fan and I'm in my early 40's. I think a lot of his fans are in the 35+ set. That being said he's a fantastic interviewer and it would be very interesting. he would be respectful in his questions, which runs contrary to what most people think. He's evolved quite a bit since the 80's and 90's. Regular, longtime listeners know this.

3. he supported her in 2008 also, but yes it would be a bad idea for her to go on his show

at least right now before this election.

4. it would not be a good idea for Hillary to appear on the shock-talk show

11. Exactly.

6. If she does go on it, it will draw more attention to Trump's damaging interviews with him

7. I'm a 50 year old Jewish chick, I listen to Howard every day

He is tremendously respectful of certain people he interviews, he tailors his style. He never asked Paul McCartney or Madonna an off color question, he wouldn't do it to her. She should go on his show.

8. He's a misogynist, and the younger crowd doesn't listen to a 60 year old has been.

He is a stalwart of the boomer generation, and not even Gen Xers listen to him. It's retires boomers who never grew up or are going through a mid-life crisis and ate trying to feel hip again as their own hips need to be replaced.

12. "Not even Gen-Xers listen to him"

Bzzzt.....

Nice bunch of cliches you strung together though.

13. Hiss average audience is about 1.2 million/week and steadily declining.

His average listener is over the age of 50, and he shows no sign of brining in younger listeners.

He's chasing the same demo in ratings as Rush Limbaugh, but without much politics.

And he objectifies women on the daily basis.

9. He still has a show? Ba ba booey!

I was listening to him on 9/11. It was a very honest raw show that happened in real time as events unfolded.

10. I am a 65 year old Hippie!

I used to watch Howard when he was on TV and still listen once in a while if I am around a radio that can get him. When you 40 something people say he does not appeal to young people I consider you the youngins! The bar has been removed for loudmouth obnoxious people by Trump by just being who he is. What would have sunk a candidate in every other election has gained him his support system. Howard is a little foul mouth and crazy but smart as a fox and may give Hillary a little more room to let people see she can play in every demographic.

14. I'm 47 and don't listen to him. I outgrew him about 17 years ago.

His peak was his movie, and then he fell apart by chasing ratings.
